What's for Dinner ~ Tuesday ~ April 22nd

23. That's a great idea. Get the community involved. Don't think we can find banana leaves

here in Georgia, but I have had delicious tamales here from co-workers and little food vendors. Would love to try making them with friends and family.

So happy to see you back. Our discussions are definitely dull without you. Hope to hear more of your adventures in the days to come, and hope you have plenty of weapons to combat the heat.



Edit to add: When heat is killing you, oil of peppermint is your friend. I recently had to cope with an incident of dead-mouse in between the walls of my home. A friend suggested peppermint oil as a remedy to the stench and, combined with a few sticks of Nag Champa each day, we were able to make it through without anyone passing out. During that period, I found that rubbing the oil on pulse points gave such a cooling experience and I am eager to try it during the hot days of a southern summer. I am also thinking that adding just a drop to lotion or aloe vera gel will really help bring sensation of coolness to an overheated body. Also thinking of ways to add my (homegrown) peppermint to these experiments.
